Managing large projects often means handling dozens or even hundreds of DWG files. Ensuring these files comply with CAD standards can be challenging. Inconsistent file names, missing references, incorrect units, or improperly set layers can cause delays, rework, and frustration for project teams.
The DWG Compliance Checker, designed by the team at ARKANCE, addresses these challenges and simplifies the process. It scans AutoCAD and Civil 3D files, identifies compliance issues, and generates clear, actionable reports. This ensures every file meets your standards and maintains consistency across your project.
Key Features of the DWG Compliance Checker:
- Batch Reviewing: Check dozens of DWG files in a single task. Detailed reports cover each file, including pass/fail checks, counts, lists, and automatic checks of external references like XREFs and data references.
- Customizable Standards: The DWG Compliance Checker comes with 72 “starting rules” that you can easily tailor to your organization’s CAD standards.
- Quick Navigation to Issues: Reports include one-click zoom functionality to immediately locate and address any issues in your drawings.
- Analytics and Insights: Reports are available in easy-to-read HTML formats and CSV files compatible with business intelligence tools like Power BI, giving you insights into your CAD data.
What Can It Check?
- Software used and versions
- File names, sizes, paths, and versions
- Internal errors and proxy objects
- Drawing data including units, variables, properties, and statistics
- Civil 3D objects and AutoCAD entities with their properties
- Layers, linetypes, blocks, and attributes
- Reference files including XREFs, DREFs, PDFs, and images
- Annotations like text, dimensions, multi-leaders, and tables
- Layouts, titleblocks, and Civil 3D settings
- And much more
The DWG Compliance Checker is ideal for teams that need consistent, standards-compliant DWG files across projects. Automating the review process eliminates guesswork and helps maintain high-quality deliverables.
